As If...

As if this needed anymore publicity.  As if I needed to ask the question at all.  But I just can't help myself.  Perhaps you haven't heard of the girl from Durango, Colorado who is now suing (With her MOTHER'S help) for her civil rights because her senior picture was deemed too racy for the school yearbook.

She was quoted as saying, “I honestly think (the picture) describes who I am,” Sydney said on NBC’s “Today” on Monday, after being invited to New York to give her side of the argument.  Wow.  "Describes who you are" 

Okay folks...go ahead...tell me who she is.  And if that picture in fact should be used as her senior picture.  She was given the opportunity to use it as her senior ad instead.

It says, "Hi, I'm Sydney. I'll make all your wildest dreams come true. For a fee."

Where I come from schools have a dress policy. Also, your school picture is used in the yearbook, not one you submit yourself. Weird stuff. Found you from MiMi's blog!

Well, darn it that it's not December because I can't think of a better time to say "ho ho ho".

She looks trashy and if she someway wins, I'll bet schools will crack down on senior photos and possibly even go back to whatever the school pictures are.... yuck!

I cannot even believe that her mother thinks that is artistic..when she has children and she is 35, do you think that she would want her children seeing that kind of image of her?

Fine. Let her pay for the ad. I'm sure she'll make it all back and then some.

Does she really want high school boys looking at her picture and um making themselves happy?? Cause you know that is what is going to happen. And yes, makes me so mad she is sewing- this world is messed up. On another note, Lucas was born in Durango

Is she allowed to wear that "outfit" during the school day? If not, and I HOPE NOT, then it should be deemed not appropriate for the school picture. This has nothing to do with her civil rights.

I saw her on the Today show. Matt Lauer seemed to agree with the girl and her mother.

I agree with Richard, just not appropriate for school or year book.

And the all-student yearbook staff got to make that decision.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
